Priam saw him first, with his old man's eyes,
A single point of light on Troy's dusty plain.
Sirius rises late in the dark, liquid sky
On summer nights, star of stars,
Orion's Dog they call it, brightest
Of all, but an evil portent, bringing heat
And fevers to suffering humanity.
Achilles' bronze gleamed like this as he ran.
The Iliad by Homer, c 8th century BC

Pushing above the rising trajectory since 24 May and releasing the energy built up during the last few months of 'range trading' to the upside and looking for the next resistance level.

The T volume oscillator 1 has risen from the low value on 18 June and moved up through the cash build up line 2 on 24 June – a T Theory oscillator Buy Signal.

The large structure, centered at the March 2020 low projects strength into Mid July and possibly into Mid September.
For now, the 4160 level is important support.

The monthly chart continues to look excessive but the market continues higher beyond the projection for a major high from the Mega T structure, which may have completed in September 2020.
